Restoring Hope Society is a Jordanian NGO established to support amputees by providing ground-breaking technology that allows the fitting of a functioning prosthesis in one visit and within a few hours, instead of taking several weeks and many visits as is the case with regular prostheses. The society has been providing prostheses for hundreds of war amputees in Gaza since September 2024.

About me

I come from a large family with five brothers and sisters and was born in Oxfordshire, brought up on a mixed arable and dairy farm. After school I travelled and worked in Australia for two years and then joined the British Army.  I was a Captain and served service in Germany, America, the UK and the Sinai Desert. After the army I became an estate agent working for Strutt and Parker and Savills. I ran offices in Newbury and Richmond working in residential sales. When I retired from Savills, I set up a small property company called Hopegrove and looking after clients and this continues. 

After nasty accident the army I was always interested in working with injured veterans from the military such as Help for Heroes and Supporting Wounded Veterans.  On a trip to Ukraine with prosthetic arms we started working on mobile amputee support units.  These units are operating in Gaza by the Jordanian Royal Medical Services.

In my spare time I enjoy rowing skiing walking swimming diving and generally staying active.  I have three children to them are married and I’m about to become a grandfather.
